Now to think up a title

Here are a couple of pictures of the discharged piece that was so disappointing.  Looking at it more casually, it reminds me of the woven tapestry fabric that is sometimes used to make up tote bags or small overnight bags. I will be keep it as a reserve piece for the show this weekend.  If one of the two pieces I have sells, I'm obligated to fill the space, and at this point, I don't have a lot of options.
As usual, the problem is one of value--always my Nemesis.  the fabric did not discharge as much as hoped.  But I could also have chosen fabric that represented greater value differences, or maybe I should have quilted in threads that matched the value of the fabrics, rather than doing it all in black.  Ah well, hindsight is always 100%.
Here is a full view and two close-ups. The concept was a stylized image of water flowing down a rock face.
